Flu Nailed This Weeks Work!


We were supposed to start a small basement job today.

Yesterday the homeowner called--The whole family is home sick!!!!

Damn,now what to do to make money until Monday.

Better this than not working because we are sick,I guess.

There are some nasty bugs going around-----MIKE-------

Yes, but will you? Sometimes when I end up staying home, I have all these wonderful ideas on things I can get done. Next thing I know, it's 3:00 and I haven't lifted a finger!

I feel your pain about to start a bathroom job the home owner called he broke his foot so they have not been able to pick out fixtures another week behind schedule.

I know how you feel Mike. No inside work for us right now. Several outside projects going on in the hurricane.
Well it gives me plenty of quality time to catch up on my paper work.
Except, you see what I'm doing. sitting here BS-ing with you clowns.

Blown in insulation today------YUCK--------

A pay check is a pay check----

Most suck to be a handy man-I like jobs that last 2 weeks to 2 months. This driving all over to do 3 hours work is just plain nuts.

A Little plumbing-a little electrical--some carpentry--Every tool in the truck -spend more time setting up and cleaning up than actually doing something!!!!!

I saw a tile setters card once-----

-------PROFESSIONAL TILE WORK------
---I AM NOT A HANDY MAN------


Made me smile.
